MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Christmas Eve

Payton in her Christmas jammies that she got in Disneyland!

Yes she was sticking her face in the snow and eating it!


We started our own family tradition when we got married to go to dinner and see the lights on Temple Square. Then when payton was born we decided to add going to Build a Bear and letting her make a bear. This year was obviously a lot more fun than last year. Due to the lovely snow storm we didn't make it to the lights but instead we came home and made this snowman. We also make gingerbread houses and then get to wear our Christmas Pajamas!

Fun in the snow

Last week we had our neices and nephews over to play in the snow. Justin got the wheeler out and pulled them around the yard on a tube. They had a good time and payton loves it when they come over!

Go COUGARS!

Go COUGARS! Justin was very excited about the outcome of todays game. As you can see our house was a cougar fest!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Payton and Uncle PhillipWhich one should i eat first?
We had a great Thanksgiving this year. We were with Mandy's mom this year. Payton was just getting over being pretty sick and it was good that she got to eat all the food. She totally loved the olives and eating them off her fingers. We are so greatful for our families. And i am greatful for Justin and Payton they make my life so complete!

Leaves, leaves, leaves!

So i have a love/hate realationship with our tree in the backyard. I love that in the summer it gives some great shade, but i hate all the leaves that fall off of it! I will say that we had a good time rakeing them up. Payton thought it was fun to pick them up and have them stick to her gloves. A great ab workout~ I love this little chick!!

Sneaky sneaky...

Payton is so sneaky. While i was getting ready she must have found the Mallowmars from my lunch and before i could get to her stuffed the first one whole in her mouth! And the same with the second like she was scared i would take it from her. I had to go grab the camera her face was bulging with chocolate!! It was pretty funny!

Backyardigains

We took payton to Toys-R-Us and as soon as she saw the Backyardigains stuff she got so excited! It was fun to see her recognize them. As soon as we got home she wanted to watch a show on her chair! So dang cute!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Payton was the cutest little lady bug! Halloween is one of our favorite holidays probably because it kicks off the start of all the holidays! We had a great day and night. We did some trick or treating with her cousins and she did pretty good. She was not a fan of the costumes with masks. Mandy was a mad scientist and if you have seen the Backyardagains she was Tasha!

China

Payton likes to drag her friend China around. Justin won this dog at lagoon back in 9th grade and gave it to Mandy. Since jax is a little fiesty and she can't hold him this is the next best thing!
